hmm, could be, I do know that lightning strikes can produce ozone, which is a very powerful oxydising agent

There's a very large amount of nitrogen in the air we breathe, however not in a form that plants can utilise. Lightning, however, can convert this already present nitrogen into a form that is useable by plants.
